After ten days, they succeeded in taking the palace. He is dressed in full armor, with a naginata in his hand; beside him his horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt dates from towards the end of Yoshitoshi's career, when he was about forty-two. It thus dates from slightly before before his well-known masterpieces such as his great series \"One Hundred Aspects of the Moon\" (1885-1892), and \"New Forms of Thirty-Six Ghosts\" (often called simply \"Thirty-Six Ghosts\") (1889-1892).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublishing commenced in 1881, and the first 16 prints were produced by the end of that year; a long hiatus then ensued, and the remaining 8 were only finally published 6 years later, in 1887. The reason for the delay is not known. When publication resumed, and the entire group was published as a set, some of the prints in the first group were re-issued with different colors .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe series was very popular while Yoshitoshi was alive, and it went through numerous printings. Several different states may be seen of these early printings (all with a red title cartouche); in some (perhaps the earliest, since it was the most work to produce) the text panel has several inclined bokashi stripes across it; in others (perhaps later), a simple band of bokashi at the top and bottom; and in others, no decoration at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Print color saturation and overall condition is very good.
